Doesn't say anything about dropping the last segment there. It says "non-compliant use" Can not using the last coupon be considered use of the coupon? That seems a stretch, as the coupons are clearly treated as individual things not an overall package of flights as one thing. The first coupon is used, and the remaining (except the last) are used in order, which is in compliance. It doesn't say that all must be used, just that they need to be used in order.

Similarly the penalty for out of order use is demanding payment at the airport on day of travel, if I wish to travel. So if I don't travel and don't go through the airport, the condition is also not met, the last coupon is simply forfeited.
